Hi, All:

 

I know the original question was about non-crank-up SS towers.  Here is some
information on crank-ups:

 

Someplace on the UST Website, I saw the following in a Q&A note, which I
cannot locate on their site now:  QUESTION : Can a UST tower be guyed?

ANSWER : The standard telescoping tower can only be guyed to the top of the
bottom section.

 

That does not put extra stress on the lifting cable.

 

Inquiring minds want to know.  <grin>

 

73, Bill, N5TU
